Miss Israel Linor Abargil was abducted, stabbed, and raped at age 18. She had to represent her country in the Miss World competition only 6 weeks later. When to her shock she was crowned the winner, she vowed to one day speak out about rape. This verité film follows Linor's global travels as she reaches out to other survivors -- from American college campuses to the townships of South Africa. But Linor's own rape comes back to haunt her when her serial rapist becomes eligible for parole. Brave Miss World follows a remarkable young woman willing to use her own rape as a case study to help others, even while racing against the clock to find her rapist's previous victims who may be able to help her keep him in prison.
